5 things we learnt from the International break

#4 James Rodriguez proves his worth

James Rodriguez has showcased his tremendous abilities once again

The Real Madrid man was linked to a number of clubs, after falling down the pecking order in the star-studded Madrid side, including the likes of Chelsea and PSG.

James Rodriguez scored in both of the qualifying matches against Brazil and Venezuela. Although Colombia did narrowly miss out against Brazil, James’ goal was vital to their 2-0 win against Venezuela. David Ospina was also really impressive in goal for Colombia.

Rodriguez would have certainly strengthened his claim for a place in Champions League holders’ starting line-up with impressive performances in the international break, but the Colombian needs to make full use of whatever limited opportunities he gets.
